| Message | "Although the Nuncirist Party maintains a policy of non-interference in the constitutional activities of the illegitimate body that calls itself the Federal Republic, in this instance we believe that this change may be beneficial for the movement's future." The Voice of Deus |

| Message | We agree, in this election example, we have thelargest party and most support among the public, yet don't have head of state and cannot form a government. This has got to show we need at least the largest party forming government, if not all parties. Parties should be allowed to negotiate a majority with other parties and present to the senate for approval. Coleen Power |
| Date | 17:48:18, August 18, 2010 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Coalition Government |
| Message | "There is, of course, the counter argument that despite being the largest party, the Conservatives do not have a majority of the public behind them. However, Supreme President Taberon, did win an election with a majority of the voting public backing him. That said, we believe that the legislature should drive the Executive and be the force behind it. Thus, we shall support in principle of constitutional theory, though not in principle of electoral analysis which we feel works against the Conservative argument." Henry, Lord Kennedy, CMP Senatorial Lead and Chairman. |

| Message | Some of us vote still on principle, not political expedience. |
| Date | 18:09:34, August 18, 2010 CET | From | Sue's Corner | To | Debating the Coalition Government |
| Message | I am voting on principle. It has long been our parties position that any party should be allowed to prpose a cabinet, as this will allow for 51% of parties to form a government ensuring a constant cabinet majority. Unless you refer not to us, but to the weak willed CMP, who we agree have no backbone on any issues. Sylvia O Hara Party Leader |

| Message | It was not directed to anyone in particular. Senator Adams |

| Message | The SDLP has always supported this principle, and whilst we fear what it may bring in this electoral cycle will stand by what we have advocated in the past. Walton Laboissonnier SDLP Senate Leader |
